STA is absolutely a key factor on sit-to-climb bikes (all the hardtails pictured were run SS). I think it’s the saving grace of all the medium-large bikes coming with STAs suited for XXL.
Interesting on the hardtail. Certainly a balance between travel and HTA. I really enjoyed my 170mm Honzo (Durolux is a tall fork to boot) but with the Angleset it was sitting around 64* static so my 120mm Walt is actually slacker with sag.
I’d love to try a DH hardtail with a 170mm fork around 62* / 61*
